Our Garden Educator Elin Marley has been back since September, taking classes into the Learning Garden. Teachers have signed up for scissor salsa, kale chips, garden mapping and seed scavenger hunts. Find out more about Elin’s lesson plans and see some great photos of what the kids have been up to on Elin’s Twitter too.
Also the garden is open at lunch on Thursdays depending on the weather! Parents are welcome to join in. Last week, there was a bit of light weeding, some picking up of trash and some kids got to plant radish seeds. Lemon balm was smelled and some chives were tasted. 
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 3rd at 7 pm in the staff room! Childcare available. Elections will be happening!
Please read more about School Council Positions here.
Sign up sheets are posted in the front lobby. Nomination forms are in the School Council cubby in the office. They must be filled out before 5pm on the day of the meeting.

Today is the Volunteer Tea at Frankland.
The following is a message from Ms Ellis:
“We would like to thank all of our parent volunteers for their enormous contributions and making our school such an amazing place. Our volunteers help in so many capacities and we just could not do it without all of you. We invite parent volunteers to come out on Monday June 25th from 7:45 to 9:30 am to enjoy some coffee, tea and light treats. Looking forward to seeing you there!”
Following Frankland’s EcoSchool Textile Drive initiative (that diverted 1300 kg of textiles from Landfill and circulated approx. 600 kg within community)
Frankland Parents Council and Fashion Takes Action is pleased to bring 3 half day workshops Footprint of Fashion for students grade 5 & 6 and one workshop for Parents (stay tuned for date)
My Clothes My World was created to educate people about the negative impact ‘fast fashion’ has on society and the environment both locally and globally.
Did you know that this week is Bike to School Week at Frankland? We are keeping track of all the kids who ride, scoot, run or walk to school in the gym! So ride, scoot, run or walk to school tomorrow and for the rest of the week! And remember to wear a helmet!
Then on Monday June 4th, the teachers will be organizing a bike rodeo/parade near the end of the day. So bring your bike or scooter if you can!
Let’s celebrate sustainable transportation at Frankland!
